Ø Union Law Minister D.V. Sadananda Gowda confirmed
the government’s decision to amend the provisions of the Lokpal Act and the Delhi
Special Police Establishment Act
to do away with the requirement of quorum in the high-profile committees to
select the anti-corruption ombudsman and the CBI Director. This would bring
these statutes in line with the Central Vigilance Act, 2003 and Right to
Information Act, 2005.
Ø Forty years of pioneering work culminating in
the successful launch of India’s first Mars orbiter this September has won the
Indian Space Research Organisation the Indira
Gandhi Prize for Peace, Disarmament and Development for 2014.
